The Official #8 Tennessee vs. #4 Florida Game Thread, 1:00 PM ET, ESPN

[volsarelife1]

What’s up with ZZ not going through the handshake line?

Not a good look no matter the circumstances. This board would be in a rage if another star player for another team did that

 

[Matt_Netherlands]

Fla will lose before us in the tourney. Book it.

Doubtful with their offense. Florida can have an off game defensively or even offensively and still win because their worst offensive game is still good enough to win most games. Tennessee has an off game on defense and they’re toast.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Tune in to any tournament other than the SEC.

I just found out traveling is still a rule. The refs called it in the Michigan game.

Do ya'll not think the lack rebounding had something to do with the number of fouls called on Tennessee players trying to rebound the ball?

No they wouldn’t. A few Bama players didn’t shake hands at TBA, a few Auburn guys didn’t yesterday.

 

[djohnnyg]

Florida is really damn good when they're in their groove. Alley opp dunks..hitting almost every 3. They do that, they can't be stopped.

 

[Majors]

These refs are pathetic. One just Stared at an over and back like it never happened!

Championship game that can’t happen. That call was an example of the officiating

 

[hUTch2002]

We don’t have a bad offense lol

Not at all. We do get too reliant on jump shots sometimes.

 

[volsarelife1]

As bad as the refs were. Florida ended up getting called for 4 more fouls than we did

Probably disappointed the game was effected by whistles. Refs should never have an impact on a game.

We shall see.

Their top 3 players didn’t have a foul in the first 10 mins.

Fla is good enough to win it all

 

[VolsRule]

7-4 vols 8th

UT owns UF baseball

 

[Vol737]

I said the same thing before the tourney started.Go lose the 1st game and rest up because nothing was going to change.

Nah, I always want our guys to have a chance to go win this tournament.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Shows is the next Pat Adams and TV Teddy

Teddy V was not as bad as Pat Adams and both are 5x better. Teddy V would talk to coaches and adjusts. He was quick on the T but at least he adjusted. Never an influence on the game and was consistent. Pat Adams and Shows always avoided them. Barnes wears them out. Shows acts like he has money. Today Florida played well and we played with our hands tied behind our back. 5 players with 4 or more fouls. Lanier going out made sure no comeback. Figure out who called the most fouls in this game against Tennessee players and you will find Doug Shows.

 

[Z06Vol]

Lack of depth definitely played a roll in the fatigue of our bigs. At least in the tourny there wont be 3 games in 3 days. GBO!

 

[Legion of Doom]

Proud of Vols. Vols played one of favorites and were even in almost every stat but the boards.

 

[SAPPER 5]

As bad as the refs were. Florida ended up getting called for 4 more fouls than we did

Should have been about 3 more than that...even with 2 more on us not called at the end.

 

[ttocswob]

As bad as the refs were. Florida ended up getting called for 4 more fouls than we did

A couple of FL fouls called on the floor to take away a UT drive to the basket... old zebra trick.

 

[Mightyvol]

I don’t know the name of the Florida center, but the Florida inside players got away with pushing and moving screens in both the Alabama and Tennessee games. The refs are absolutely horrible. Not worth watching.

 

[VolBalls33]

Maybe the top 2 seed will pay dividends come bracket time. Won't have to play Bama, Michigan State, or St Johns as they will likely be the other 2 seeds until a possible Final Four matchup. Proud of UT fight today. ZZ and Gainey wanted it BAD. And ZZ now has 714 assists. Just needs 2 next game to become the all time leader. Ready to see all the matchups and see if UT gets hosed again with our bracket.

I have watched Barnes games over the last 10 years. He has a poor record of choosing his bigs.

Today's world fan duel accounts are private and any ref can have one loaded with payouts. I bet Shows does have alot of money

 

[VolGee4]

we dont have shooters , we have a shooter but which one. describe our offense

We are 18th in offensive efficiency. Facts don’t help that argument.
